Beringin LB – small settlement in the Lhoksukon district area of North Aceh
Beringin LB is a settlement located in the northern part of Sumatra, in the Indonesian province of Aceh (Provinsi Aceh). Administratively it belongs to the Lhoksukon district (Kecamatan Lhoksukon), which is also the seat of Kabupaten Aceh Utara (North Aceh Regency). Based on its coordinates (5.035° N, 97.321° E), the area is situated near the eastern, coastal plains of the Aceh peninsula. There is no independent, publicly available source material specifically about Beringin LB at the settlement level; therefore, the following presents the settlement within its broader administrative and regional context.
General overview
Beringin LB is a small-sized settlement of local significance belonging to the Lhoksukon kecamatan. Lhoksukon itself is noteworthy because it serves as the administrative seat of Kabupaten Aceh Utara; the regency's former seat was Lhokseumawe, which was granted status as an autonomous city (kota otonom), after which the regency's administrative functions were transferred to Lhoksukon. Kabupaten Aceh Utara is a densely populated rural area: according to data from the end of 2023, the regency's total population was 627,543 inhabitants. Agricultural and fishing activities are characteristic of the region, which, as a result of the coastal plains and climatic conditions, determine the local economic structure. Beringin LB itself is likely a smaller rural community (village or dusun-level settlement) that is integrated into the district's administrative network, but does not appear independently in publicly available databases. Aceh Province as a whole is culturally and religiously distinctive, a region with strong Islamic traditions; it is also recognized within Indonesia for its special autonomy: Aceh is the only province where certain elements of Islamic law (syariah) have been integrated into the local legal system.
Real estate and investment
No independent, settlement-level real estate market data is available for Beringin LB. The broader North Aceh Regency real estate market is characterized by rural, agrarian conditions; more developed urban infrastructure and higher transaction volumes are more closely tied to the nearby city of Lhokseumawe. Real estate prices across the regency are generally lower than in major Indonesian cities or tourist-frequented areas. In Indonesia, the generally applicable framework of land ownership regulations should be considered: foreign nationals cannot, as a general rule, acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) over real estate, having at most certain limited property rights (such as Hak Pakai), and only under specified conditions. For local or national investors, real estate in rural Aceh Utara is primarily suitable for agricultural and plantation use. The region's level of economic development, the state of infrastructure, and the investment environment strongly determine real estate market opportunities; therefore, consultation with local legal and market advisors is essential before any transaction.
Safety and security
No independent, settlement-level public safety statistics are available in the sources used regarding Beringin LB or Lhoksukon district. It can be said generally that Aceh Province has largely stabilized since the 2005 Helsinki Peace Agreement, which ended the decades-long armed conflict, and today in most of the province's territory, daily public order can be assessed as adequate. In rural areas, including small settlements in Kabupaten Aceh Utara, both the local community normative system and Islamic customary law (adat and syariah) influence social order. As a result of the province's special autonomy, local legislation and social expectations differ in certain respects from norms characteristic of other parts of Indonesia, which should be taken into account by those staying in the region. Specific crime statistics are not provided due to their unavailability.
Tourist attractions
No source data is available regarding named tourist attractions in Beringin LB and its immediate surroundings (Kecamatan Lhoksukon). The broader Kabupaten Aceh Utara and the neighboring city of Lhokseumawe, however, possess several well-known attractions in the region: coastline along the eastern shores and sites connected to Acehnese cultural heritage can be found within the regency's territory. From Lhoksukon district, cultural and natural assets accessible from the regency seat and nearby cities can be visited, although their exact distances and accessibility should be verified from local sources. Considering Aceh Province as a whole, heritage sites around Banda Aceh, post-2004 tsunami memorial sites, and natural landscapes (such as North Aceh's hills and coastlines) are among the province's better-known tourist attractions, but these are located at considerable distance from Beringin LB.
Summary
Beringin LB is a poorly documented small rural settlement in the northern part of Aceh Province, in Lhoksukon district, within the territory of Kabupaten Aceh Utara. The regency's administrative significance derives from Lhoksukon's role as the seat; the region's population exceeded 627,000 inhabitants in 2023. The settlement's cultural and administrative embeddedness can be understood through the lens of Acehnese rural life and Islamic traditions. Currently, more detailed, settlement-specific data about Beringin LB is not publicly available; therefore, for any more concrete information, local knowledge and current, direct sources are advisable to rely upon.
